[Fedora-livecd-list] Using livecd-tools for recovery disc

I am using Fedora 9 to create a custom live DVD.  This DVD is used for
recovery and installation.  The DVD boots fine.  I have a script on the
DVD that runs the liveinst process.  The script runs, the install
completes as expected.

I have 2 issues.

#1 - I would like for the install to complete *without* prompting with
the reboot message.  I do not have a reboot instruction in my kickstart
file.  Still, it prompts with a reboot message.  I press enter and the
script continues.  But I'd rather it just continue without the
prompting.  Does anyone know how to make that happen?

#2 - I need to be able to remove the live DVD and place another disc in
the drive to un-tar some files.  If I try to unmount the DVD right after
the machine is booted, before the script is run, it works fine.
However, if I try to unmount the DVD after the script has run, I get
errors like:

Ext3-fs error (device dm-0): ext3_journal_start_sb: detected aborted
journal
Remounting filesystem read-only

Also, I am un-able to run any commands.  It says it can't find
/bin/find, or whatever command I'm trying to run.

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the live disc?  If so, how
is it done?  Or does anyone know if it's possible in F10 or F11?


Thanks in advance for your help.
